Big cities are going to get worse.  Some smaller cities too.

The museum we were looking at close by isn&#8217;t open today, and the beach trip yesterday got all the girls a nice bit of sunburn.  I think today will be low key as a result.<\/p>\n<p>And still the world turns.<\/p>\n<p>Make a plan.  Work your plan.
